The TF wrote Morgan a thankyou note! The dollar is a one time deal though.

This is our house. I love the front porch so much. The boys can play out there in the afternoon, get some sun, and I can sit back and read. All this with no bugs. The mosquitos and chiggers are pretty bad here. And the squirrels. We've got about 10 running around our yard at any given moment.

Morgan got sick of waiting for his tooth to fall out on its own so he gave it a hand. I was in the kitchen when Morgan runs up saying "I lost my tooth!" There is a little blood so I asked him if he pulled it out. "Yep" very matter-o-factly.

Not a lot has been happening at the Hauk house. Morgan finished school this week so we're settling in to the summer routine. 11 days and counting til the summer enrichment program starts. Tomorrow we're going to the library to sign up for the summer reading program.

It's been so hot here with the average temp being 95 degrees! We've been doing a lot of our playing inside but in the evenings we go out on the porch for some basketball.Morgan has a week and a half of school left. This week he's going on a field trip to the bowling alley. Then on Friday they're having the school's Field Day.

Max spent a lot of this weekend in just diapers to cope with the heat outside. With the AC we are living in the cool cave that has become our house. We eat a lot of fruit slushies. I put on cup frozen strawberries in a blender in a cup of milk and a bunch of ice. It tastes yummy and is easy to make.

"That's My Backpack!" That's what Max kept saying when we tried to give him a break from the backpack. It had Mommy's camera, two juice boxes, and some fruit snacks in it. He carried most of the mile we hiked.

A filthy Max = lots of fun. But some of those marks on his legs are from a pen he found at the house this morning. We don't know where he has them stashed.

Morgan's new goal in life is be an artist just like Mommy. And he wants to live in his own house. Mommy's reaction when she heard that last bit? YES!

There was a playground at the Caledon Natural Site. The boys played hard until the lunch and again before the hike. We're surprised they didn't collapse before we got to the car.

Everyone had to have their own walking sticks. After halfway there Mommy made everyone (even Daddy) put their sticks by the side of the trail for other weary hikers to find.

Near the halfway point we ran into this fellow. At the time we didn't know if he was harmless or venomness so we gave him a wide berth. After some internet research we found out he was a Northern Black Racer. This snake is a scaredycat and slithers away very quickly when approached. Mommy took this picture at a comfortable distance as he was moving away from us.

Lunch was hotdogs with S'Mores for dessert. Morgan and Max weren't that impressed with the toasted marshmallows. Max took one bite and decided they weren't for him.

This merry-go-round was the hit of the day. Both boys took turns spinning the other. Then Morgan figured out how to spin it then jump on. Several of these pictures were taken by Mommy taking a ride on the merry-go-round.
